255. Allah. There is no god but He,-the Living, the
Selfsubsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep.
His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can
intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth
what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind
them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as
He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the
earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving
them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).
256. Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out
clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah
hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks.
And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
257. Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the
depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. Of those
who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones: from light they
will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be
companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever).

284. To Allah belongeth all that is in the heavens and on earth.
Whether ye show what is in your minds or conceal it, Allah
Calleth you to account for it. He forgiveth whom He pleaseth,
and punisheth whom He pleaseth, for Allah hath power over all
things.
285. The Messenger believeth in what hath been revealed to
him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them)
believeth in Allah, His angels, His books, and His apostles.
"We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of
His apostles." And they say: "We hear, and we obey: (We seek)
Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all
journeys."
286. On no soul doth Allah Place a burden greater than it can
bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that
it earns. (Pray:) "Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall
into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden Like that which
Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! Lay not on us a
burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins,
and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our
Protector; Help us against those who stand against faith."

practises envy.
